<p>I'll be going there in February. All my MN friends are like "Yeah, coldest month of the year!"</p>
<p>As the saying goes, "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing."</p>
<p>I would say January is the coldest month here, sometimes February can get in the mid to high 20's for a few days. January is always single digits and wind. brrrrrrrrrr. Most clothes aren't made for that.</p>
<p>So just as an update to this...I ended up coming during the warmest week they've had in a long time, haha. :) It's 17 right now. </p>
<p>I was very cold, and people kept calling it "warm." Eek!</p>
<p>Heh...you have to take into account that a week ago, it was -25. So 17 does feel like a heat wave! "20 is the new 40," I declared yesterday.</p>
<p>But temps <em>that</em> cold are pretty rare. </p>
<p>The flip side of our frozen wasteland is that nobody comes to life in the spring quite like a Minnesotan. There's just no describing the joy that fills you when things start to turn green and blossom again. It's amazing.</p>
<p>It was -25 for three days straight and I still didn't ever get off school! Not even a late start. If you would have been here for that, 17 might have felt warm even for you. God it was cold that week.</p>
<p>I'm from Minnesota too and that week was terrible. I think any Minnesotan would say that the temperature is never the problem.... it's always the wind. -10 can feel ok if there's no wind..... however, get a nice breeze going and the wind chill could easily drop below -40. Now that's cold.</p>
